Simple file field (instead of file manager) was created by magj

Hi

I want to use a simple file field(Just browse) in "front end" for users, How is it possible?

Sometimes A file manager with tons of features to upload an image is "too much".

I'm using the 1601 build.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Regards

Currently

file field uses the fileelement view

which is a somewhat lighter version of filemanager view

I understand that sometime it maybe desirable for file field to only show a simple file input form field , this has some implications with using the other features of file field, like
- multi-value and
- deleting values
- selecting other existing values,
- imposing maximum limitation
so to make it bond together with other features of file field will require work

currently this is not available
